Program Manager, Supply Chain Operations & Process Excellence IV

On-Site role

Job Description:

• This team gives client a single, real-time, cross-functional view of supply chain performance across Planning, Logistics, Procurement and Manufacturing. 
• Its work spans four areas: disruption response, early warning, operational efficiency, and AI experimentation.
• You will cover operations, strategy and execution across all four areas. 
• You will support disruption response rather than run it, guiding the team and escalating to leadership when needed. 
• Your first mandate is to turn how the supply chain really works into clear, data-backed process models that shape the design of new capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Process modeling: Lead end-to-end modeling for priority supply chain use cases, starting with OTIF monitoring, forecast revenue vs. target, supply disruption management and inventory management.
• Process mining: Use ERP and planning system event data to show how processes actually run, where they stall and where they vary from the design.
• Process maps: Build current-state and future-state maps (BPMN, swimlanes, SIPOC) with clear handoffs, decision points, owners, triggers and thresholds.
• Discovery workshops: Facilitate sessions with Planning, Logistics, Procurement, Sourcing, Manufacturing and IT, and turn the findings into requirements, RACI and playbooks.
• Partner management: Manage any outside process modeling partner against scope, quality and timeline.
• Program management: Plan and track programs and new use cases, including scope, milestones, dependencies, issues and status reporting.
• Stakeholder alignment: Align stakeholders from individual SMEs to VPs. Drive decisions, resolve conflicts and secure sign-off on designs and deliverables.
• Operational support: Support disruption response and KPI exception follow-up, and escalate cross-functional issues to leadership.
• Continuous improvement: Capture lessons learned after every event and feed them back into processes, playbooks and the roadmap.
• Systems partnership: Work with IT and data owners so process designs are translated correctly into systems, dashboards and data feeds.
